Abstract
Este artigo investiga os determinantes do desempenho econômico dos municípios brasileiros, com foco no impacto do tamanho do mercado. Dados de 4738 municípios, para o ano de 2021, correlações e regressões espaciais são utilizados para avaliar como o tamanho do mercado, as economias de aglomeração e variáveis de controle, como a abundância de recursos naturais, a qualificação e a infraestrutura afetam o PIB. O Índice Ii de Moran local evidencia padrões espaciais distintos: diversificação nas Regiões Metropolitanas de São Paulo e Porto Alegre, no litoral catarinense e Paraná, e no litoral fluminense, e especialização primária no Centro-Oeste. As regressões espaciais indicam que o tamanho do mercado exerce influência significativa e positiva no desempenho econômico, porém a proximidade de municípios com mercados maiores e estrutura produtiva mais diversificada pode afetar negativamente o desempenho econômico. This article investigates the determinants of economic performance in Brazilian municipalities, with a focus on the impact of market size. Data from 4738 municipalities for the year 2021, along with spatial correlations and regressions, are used to assess how market size, agglomeration economies, and control variables such as natural resource abundance, workforce qualification, and infrastructure affect GDP. The local Moran’s I index reveals distinct spatial patterns: diversification in the Metropolitan Regions of São Paulo and Porto Alegre, in the Santa Catarina coast and Paraná, and in the Rio de Janeiro coastline, as well as primary specialization in the Midwest. Spatial regressions indicate that market size has a significant and positive influence on economic performance, however the proximity of municipalities with larger markets and more diversified production structures can negatively affect economic performance.
